The ponies were happily grazing near ///cookers.cubic.edge, east of Brock's Hill, at 14:35 this afternoon. They were all very friendly, wandering over one by one to say hello and enjoy some strokes. I received a lovely welcome, with plenty of cuddles and nuzzles. The girls were all happy, relaxed, and looking well.
After our initial greetings, the ponies returned to grazing, but frequently came back for more strokes and rubs. Pandora was especially affectionate, relishing several long neck rubs and rewarding me with the sweetest nuzzles each time. Most of the ponies were happy to stand and be brushed, fully relaxing, with many bowing their heads and resting a hind leg.
The bay pony's legs were looking slightly better again today. There were no raw patches, and she didn't appear to be in any discomfort. There was also further hair regrowth, particularly on the patches near the top of her legs. She thoroughly enjoyed some time away from the others being fussed over.
The other bay pony was also showing signs of improvement, with definite hair regrowth starting on the patch above her right eye. Overall, she simply looked in slightly better condition than she has recently.
The ponies slowly made their way west towards Brock's Hill, stopping to enjoy plenty of gorse from the bushes on both sides of the track. Tilly took a break from grazing to enjoy a long neck rub, fully extending her neck to allow for a chin rub, which she absolutely loved. At several points, she rested her chin on my shoulder and repeatedly thanked me with gentle nuzzles.
I said goodbye to the ponies at 16:30, leaving them all happily grazing. Several had wandered into the pasture on the opposite side of the main path to continue their dinner.
The ponies were all good today.
